New Swiss machine.

[throwhammers]

When they were testing out the needle bar tensioner they came by our shop and gave us some. We just swapped them out for the the original tube vise underneath. Works great.
I don't think there are any changes to the actual machine though. It's the same machine with a new tube vise/ needle tensioner.
They do have a new machine about to come out though. It's cool. I was helping test a few prototypes over the past 2 years.

Interesting. I made my own a while back before this came out. However, I also added 3.5mm swing dampening bearing.
Cost $40 for the vise and bearing and $70 for the stealth. I use this machine everyday.

The vice looks like is from a firefly (Chinese copy of dragonfly).

There is a Chinese stealth II machine that has all that stuff on it. You can buy one for about 35$. The body is different, same size but the front is cut down.

Here it is without the needle tensioner. I didn't look very hard. But they come with the DF style needle tensioner too.

I'd rather have the Swiss any day. The support you get is second to none. Not to mention that the quality is 100 times better too.
